How A Real-Time eTMF Dashboard Helps Keep A Trial On Track

Like its paper predecessors, an electronic Trial Master File (eTMF) houses thousands of documents. Each document relates to one of the dozens or hundreds of processes that collectively comprise clinical trial work and must be reviewed by clinical trial and medical affairs teams. One option that takes some pressure off this otherwise daunting task is employing an eTMF dashboard.

Study teams find dashboards are most useful for:

• Receiving real-time updates. A dashboard can automatically communicate updates and changes in a study’s status.
• Analyzing study data. Dashboard tools can collect data, including timelines for document creation or completion. This data may be analyzed to provide insights for this trial and future trials.
• Seeing what’s next. As tasks are completed, each user can check the dashboard to see what information is available and what steps need to come next.
